New and Improved Internet Explorer Logo - Now With Extra Added Browsing Goodness

From IEBlog, the official Microsoft Internet Explorer weblog. The new logo looks pretty spiffy if you ask me; a rugged foray into the wild denim yonder, with just a naughty splash of summer wheat.

Guess I've been reading too much of the Pottery Barn catalog copy lately. Anyhoo, more from IE Blog:

"As you can see, the new “e” has more modern look, and the edges are a bit darker so the icon stands out better against different backgrounds. We liked the gold ring too since it brings in new energy and helps the icon pop a bit more than the old one.

This icon and text treatment will be used on the versions of IE 7 for Windows XPSP2, Server 2003 SP1, and x64 versions. We’ll have a slightly different look for the Windows Vista™ version, one that’s more consistent with the icons there. We’re not quite ready with that one yet, but we’ll share it here once we do."
